This expensive mini-sheet (6.65 euros) is a deserved tribute to the great Dutch painter Rembrandt (July 15, 1606 - October 4, 1669). Interestingly many other famous painters from different seasons and styles, sign this original phylatelic piece. Thus, among many others, we can see the signatures of Goya, Rubens, Claude Monet, Pissarro, Matisse, Picasso, Dali, Magritte, Van Gogh and many, many other geniuses of European Painting.

It's a melancolic image: A woman (mother, daughter, grandmother, friend, wife, girlfriend, we'll never know) is writing a letter, quietly. Old scene and always new, even in our current world of the Internet and email.
